Active Pursuits

Part of the reason people flock here is that the town's beaches have sand, unlike many of the other resorts along this coast, which have pebbly beaches. Plage de Juan-les-Pins is the most central beach. Its subdivisions, all public, include Plage de la Salis and Plage de la Garoupe. If you don't have a beach chair, go to the concessions operated by each of the major beachfront hotels. Even if you're not a guest, you can rent a chaise and mattress for around 15€ to 18€ ($20-$23). The most chic is the area maintained by the Hôtel des Belles-Rives. Competitors more or less in the same category are La Jetée and La Voile Blanche, both opposite the tourist information office. Topless sunbathing is permitted, but total nudity isn't.

Watersports -- If you're interested in scuba diving, check with your hotel staff, Easy Dive, Port Gallice (tel. 04-93-61-26-07; www.easydive.fr), or EPAJ, embarcadère Courbet (tel. 04-93-67-52-59). A one-tank dive costs 45€ ($54), including all equipment. Water-skiing is available at virtually every beach in Juan-les-Pins. Concessionaires include one outfit that's more or less permanently located on the beach of the Hôtel des Belles-Rives. Ask any beach attendant or bartender, and he or she will guide you to the water-skiing representatives who station themselves on the sands. A 10-minute session costs 15€ to 25€ ($20-$33).
